[Keyboard] Every key works exept one!
I'm a swedish debian user, and so I use a swedish keyboard. Making all the keys work have been a big problem but now it seems that every key is working correctly exept just one - and thats the key where the pipe symbol is located. The tag-symbols (or "more" and "less" symbols if you like) are also located on that key.
pressing the key does nothing. Combining the key with ALT or CTRL does nothing either. USing ALT or ALT GR with other keys works fine. The only thing i've done is choosing the swedish keyboard layout in the beginning of the debian setup, and later on marked the "sv_se" locale option. Can anyone help me out here? I don't know the name of the keymap file and eaven if I did the file contents would probably tell me nothing. |
Did you choose pc105 (instead of the default option of pc104) as the keyboard model during the configuration of X?
You can re-run the configuration of X by executing Code:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 --priority=medium |
Yepp, and I tried again using the command you suggested. I've entered "se_SE" as keyboard variant (as a result of looking in /etc/X11/xkb/). No difference.
But I noticed right now that it's just in X this happens! If I quit my X session and try in console mode it works fine. |
....which made me look in the /etx/X11/XFConfig-4 file and found that is configured as pc104 anyway. I changed it to pc105 and so I'm able to write the "<" and ">" symbols!
But everything has a flipside. Now ALT GR is unusable, so the pipe symbol still remains... along with "at" and other things.... Here's how it looks (XFConfig-4): Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "se_SE" EndSection |
Here is how that section looks like here for me:
Code:
Section "InputDevice" Code:
KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001, Code:
KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, |
